So your point is that we aren't better talent wise than 2/3rds of the conference but rather on par with the bulk of conference talent wise and then it comes down to coaching and execution. I'd say that's fair.

I see people on here refer to our talent level from time to time as a reason for optimism. I'm genuinely curious where the optimism comes from or is relative to? Is the talent level relative to last year? To other B1G teams? At what positions are we more often than not going to win...

If it isn't self evident (Stanford and Cal were spurned by the B1G and are now in the ACC) you can google and find plenty of commentary on the value, or lack thereof, in the Stanford and Cal programs, the hard on some here have for Stanford, particularly, notwithstanding. Hell, the ACC wasn't...

I wonder if the volume of portalling players will stay the same but be consolidated into the single portal window instaed of spread over two? I would guess a lotof guys that previously entered the spring window were already contemplating transferring but waited to see where they stood in...

Except that neither Stanford or Cal move the viewership needle in the Bay area, at least not enough to warrant a B1G invite. But there are probably plenty of UCLA and USC grads in the Bay Area.

What I don't understand about the NFL is why there is such a huge drop off from starting O-lineman to backups? How is this Skule on an NFL roster? And why does RIsner sit unsigned the last three years until the first week of the season? I don't know where he ended up this year but he was a...

The Vikings have salary cap considerations the Twins do not have and the Vikings typically spend right up to the limit while leaving some wiggle room in the event of the need for emergency roster additions, which may be wholesale this year at this rate. The Twins don't spend money, period...

I'm sure that UCLA is not on his radar but it seemed to be last go round until PJ learned of UCLA's poverty.

Right. I believe it was reported or rumored that UCLA couldn't or wouldn't offer PJ even what he was making here. They assumed he could be had strictly for the LA allure.

If you care at all about the future of Max Brosmer then you aren't wishing for him to play behind thay attrocious O-line with the equally atrocious play calling KOC has displayed. "Max on a 5 step drop and he is absolutely murdered 4 steps in."

This team is trash. Time to muff for Manning. Fire DEI KAM. KOC on a short leash.

I attended the game at South Dakota State tonight and had noticed at an earlier game that the Case IH redzone had disappeared. In between, a large ag cooperative seems to have stepped into the breech for game two. Tonight, the Case IH Red Zone was back in the stadium and I heard it on the...

West isn't very good but has a 9th grade team that is kicking the snot out if its peers. It'll recover.

I took in the heavyweight tilt between New Ulm and Albert Lea tonight. The visiting Tigers walked off 17-14 on a 43 yard field goal that would have been good from 50 easily. The QB for AL can sling it but the line is pretty small. They have a pretty porous defensive backfield and luckily for...

I wonder if there is a lead sponsor on this? Often times these campaigns are quiet looking for larger, lead sponsors, before going public.

I think you're correct - although I wouldn't bet on it - that they could sell out the stadium if all season tickets were $10 per game. But the U didn't implement fee increases to drive down the number of season ticket holders and as noted above, it didn't implement the final fee increase when...

PJ should howl about the disparity in philanthropy, NIL and 4* and 5* players.

I hope so too. I like the white hats and pants, but white doesn't mean gold needs to banished and I'm glad gold shows up even when white is prominent. I'm an SDSU fan. The school song recites "yellow and blue" but the last five years, there's hardly any yellow in the uniforms to be found...

Is it a haircut or passed on to the consumer or both? Sales tax is collected by the vendor but paid by the consumer. The vendor can lower prices but I've seen no evidence at sporting events that that is the case.

The first part of this is spot on. The secondary market makes it a lot easier to get into the games a person wants to attend and come out ahead financially. I had season tickets before the fee increase but even then found it difficult to even give away some game tickets.
